sense of competition appeals to many underrepresented populationsin engineering.Engineering discourse is a discursive complex [4] that is made up of several types of engineeringdiscourses – scientific discourse of engineering, the management discourse of engineering, andother possible discourses such as ethics [5]. Engineering discourse includes the collection ofwords, visuals, and narratives through which engineers communicate [6]. The collection ofwords used includes the steps of the engineering design process and terms such as criteria andconstraints for elementary school students. The engineering design process is an example of anengineering design routine that contributes to engineering discourse [7]. It is an explorativeroutine which is

Similar to student grade data analysis, student surveys thatfocused on student learning attitudes and perceptions were administered, and responses werecompared to responses from previous in-person offerings.All data collection involving students was approved by the University of Toronto HealthSciences Research Ethics Board (Protocol # 34825) and the Toronto District School BoardExternal Research Review Committee (Protocol # 2017-2018-20).

However, NOE teaching is not an easy task,and a lack of NOE understanding also raises many issues and obstacles for science teachers toincorporate NOE in science instruction. Science teachers need training to fulfill the requirementsdescribed in the NGSS and to inform teachers about NOE aspects. To meet this goal, weprovided a professional development that focuses on NOE and the engineering design processduring summer 2017 in a southwestern research institute.

Modeling of preclinical screening of pharmaceuticals commonly requires in-vivo techniques.Even as the in-vivo techniques are currently indispensable, they suffer from myriad limitations,e.g., low throughput, long trial periods, ethical concerns, and complications associated with cross-species result transfer and validation. As a result, in-vitro models for screening of pharmaceuticalsare gaining increasing attention to create devices with high throughputs and improve the efficiencyof preclinical trials. Nonetheless, some in-vitro models (e.g., those based on microfluidics) mayfail to replicate conditions present in the body and thus

These engineeringexperiences and many others like them occurring throughout the rocket module were unique andvaluable for high school students. The general lack of student recognition revealed by theirsurveys that they were, in fact, doing engineering may arise from the conflation of engineeringwith science endemic in schools identified by Pleasants and Olson [2]. The instructor could havedone a better job illuminating for students these “engineering teaching moments” as theyoccurred.

As an engineer, it is important tolearn about those the project will impact to ensure that the product will meet their needs. Byasking students to consider the needs of others and providing realistic environments to practiceempathy in engineering design challenges, researchers hoped to achieve two outcomes: first,increased retention and initial registration in STEM-based classes after participating in theprogram, and second, greater overall success in designing and creating solutions.The empathy connections made in the program drew heavily from education research, includingNoddings’ ethics of care and Dweck’s growth
